    10 Products I Actually Use - Nicole Nachlas

    The gear I actually use and would buy again

    Nicole Nachlas's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

    Products in this list

    • GU Roctane Sports Gel by GU — I love this gel. This is my go too. It is small and easy to open with running. It is a thicker consistency but I prefer that over the runnier gels.
    • Original Energy Gel by GU Energy — I love this gel. This is my go too. It is small and easy to open with running. It is a thicker consistency but I prefer that over the runnier gels.
    • GU Energy Gel Espresso by GU — I love the small amount of caffeine in this gel. I will usually go back and forth throughout my run. The consistency is thicker but it is what I prefer.
    • Speedgoat 7 Trail-Running Shoes by REI — I use these for all of my trail runs. They are sturdy and give your feet a good amount of cushion for the terrain. The toe box is wide which is nice. And they pretty much went from box to trail with minimal breaking in.
    • Cocoon 2.0 by rabbit — This is a great run shirt especially in TX in the winter. It isn't cold enough to wear a jacket but this is warm enough to keep you running when the temps drop. It is soft. There is a space for your ponytail when you have the hood up as well.
    • UPF Deflector 2.0 by rabbit — This is perfect for those fall runs or even runs in the heat in TX! It is light weight and the colors are super fun.
    • Salomon GRVL Skin 4 Hydration Vest by Salomon — This was my newest purchase and I am loving it so far. It is a smaller profile so it sits higher on my chest which makes drinking from the flasks so much easier. I have also found that it sits right at the bottom of my sports bra which is great for not chafing in the back.
    • Tailwind Nutrition by Tailwind Nutrition — Mixes like a dream. My go to on all of my runs. Easy and long runs. Favorite flavor is lemon
    • OpenRun Pro 2 by Shokz — These are great for being able to enjoy your music or podcast or book and still be able to hear noises around you. I feel safer with the bone conducting headphones for that reason.
    • Fractel M-Series Cap by Fractel — I love this hat. I love that you can throw it in the washer. Just make sure to hang dry! I love how it fits on my head. I love that they come with a couple different options for the back. The one for high ponies is great.
